Wow...thanks for the warning. I've got RH 7.1 in my machine, 7.2 sitting on my desk, and a TNT2 card. The current nVidia driver works mostly OK (execept it pees itself sometimes when you terminate X.

Sounds like maybe they have some work to do yet. I've become leery of some vendor-supplied Linux drivers, especially the skanky way nVidia supplies a binary that's masquerading as source code.
